Big Mac Fries
In one of the most outrageous slights to a great white athlete  even in an era when such insults are commonplace  Mark McGwire, arguably the greatest power hitter in the history of baseball, was denied election to the Baseball Hall of Fame this year. The baseball writers did something they would never dream of doing to a black player: punish him for some (alleged) breach of honor, in this case steroids use.
Rarely has there been a candidate that has had better qualifications for the Hall of Fame. Mark McGwire is the most prolific home run hitter in baseball history. His at bats to home run ratio is higher than anyone else's. Higher than Ruth, higher than Bonds, and of course much higher than Hank Aaron. That means that when Big Mac came to bat you had a better chance of seeing a dinger than with any other player in the history of the game.
Forget career home run totals, which can be amassed by playing longer than other players, or being fortunate in avoiding injuries, or losing playing time to such things as strikes and wars. As an example, Pete Rose is not considered a better hitter than Ty Cobb because he collected more hits in a long career. Cobb is better because he hit for a much higher average. In the same way Mark McGuire stands head and broad shoulders above any other man that has played the game.
If the most dangerous home run hitter in baseball history is not worthy of election to the Hall of Fame then perhaps the man with the most hits shouldn't be in there either. Oops. That's the case, too. Pete Rose, another victim of white self-hate as expressed by the sports media, is being punished for an (alleged) breach of conduct, in this case betting on baseball while he was a manager. Black felons and phony Negro Leaguers can stroll into the Hall of Fame, but if there is one alleged black mark against a white player he can forget it.
I imagine when Roger Clemens is eligible for the Hall, there will be some off-field issue that will be brought up to discourage voters from voting for him, too. Maybe he once said the magic "n-word" which destroys the professional career of any white person that utters it in public (and sometimes even in private). If something foolish like that happens then the greatest home run hitter, all-time hit king, and arguably the greatest pitcher ever (all white of course) can find themselves ignored by the institution that once signified greatness in athletic achievement in America.
For some strange reason (perhaps you can think of a reason) fellows like Ferguson Jenkins (once arrested for cocaine possession), and Orlando Cepeda (a convicted drug smuggler), still found their way into the Hall without much fuss.
Jenkins became the first player in baseball history to be "permanently" suspended from baseball for a drug related offense. He was arrested in Toronto on August 25, 1980 for possession of cocaine. Fourteen days after the arrest, then Commissioner Bowie Kuhn banned Jenkins. In an unprecedented decision, he was reinstated by an independent arbitrator in 1980.
McGwire's crime? Nothing. There is no evidence that he broke any law and could never have violated any baseball regulations as the sport did not even ban steroids until 2002.
Contrast the treatment McGuire is receiving with the way the media ignores the off-field behavior of black athletes when it comes to considering their on-field accomplishments.
In the NFL, Shawne Merriman tested positive for steroids this season, was suspended for four games, and was still elected to the Pro Bowl and may be the Defensive Player of the Year. Lawrence Taylor was an acclaimed enshrinee into the Football Hall of Fame, despite each and every voter knowing that Taylor had played his entire career as a cocaine/crack addict. And Taylor acknowledged that he regularly abused an illegal drug that increases metabolism, causes one to be violent, and numbs one to pain.
But Taylor was elected anyway because of his distinguished career in which he played at a high speed, was an especially violent hitter, and could play through injury. Hmmm, seems to be some connection there but each and every sports writer ignored the connection, instead preferring to concentrate on what he did "on-the-field."
Contrast that with Pete Rose, who has been blackballed out of baseball even though each and every one of his 4,256 hits had absolutely nothing to do with any gambling and occurred before the accusations anyway.
Only 25 percent of writers voted McGwire worthy for the Hall of Fame. Hey, the writers are finally taking a stand against steroid abuse (alleged). I bet they get over it by the time Barry Bonds is eligible.
Let us consider McGwire's alleged steroid use. Did he use them? Probably. McGwire was a gym-rat guy who always lifted weights. Like anyone of that era that spent a lot of time in the gym there were a number of supplements that guys took, not only to get good results, but to have the energy to keep after it day after day.
So McGwire probably tried some and used something for a while and when they were banned, quit. But McGwire was already a prolific home run hitter. He was a prolific home run hitter when he was in little league. By high school he was already considered a sure-fire big league power prospect and in his rookie year he set the record for home runs for a first year player with 49. There followed many seasons of impressive power output that certainly had nothing to do with steroids.
Compare that to Barry Bonds, who in a fit of racist anger that a white man (McGwire) would be considered a better power hitter than him, took it upon himself to go to the number one illegal supplement supplier in the world for help. Bonds asked BALCO founder Victor Conte to design a program for him to make him the top slugger in the game.
Bonds didn't just pop some steroid pills to help him in his regular work-outs; he began a program that included HGH, insulin, and the newest, hardest to detect synthetic steroid which was known as the "clear." Thus Bonds didn't just add to his workout results, he made a premeditated attempt to be the biggest cheater in the game, merely to soothe his racial jealousy over the better performance of a white man.
McGwire was different than Bonds in another significant way. McGwire was an ambassador for the game. He was friendly with the press, and he carried himself in a manner befitting the number one power hitter in baseball. In the magical season of 1998 when McGwire passed the immortal Roger Maris' single season record of 61 home runs, McGwire was a respected and beloved figure.
His gentlemanly race for the record with Sammy Sosa was a thrilling season long adventure culminating in a festival like celebration in St. Louis when he finally broke the record. It was sports entertainment at its finest. That year is one of the best years the sport has ever seen.
Compare that to Bonds' record breaking year of 2002. That year can best be remembered for the fight over the ball that Bonds hit to break the record. Bonds has always been a complete and total jerk. There are few people who would deny that. The media hates him even as they must provide guarded criticism due to the media armor (skin color) he possesses.
Bonds is disliked by all that know him. Friends (such as they are), lovers, and co-workers. Rarely has the human race produced a person to whom so much was given, yet who gives back so much misery in return. He is an unrepentant racist who has some baseball achievements to his name but will always be known as a truly vile human being.
Mark McGwire is a good guy, well liked and deservedly so. His attempt to handle the steroids issue in the best way possible has caused him nothing but grief. McGwire has handled the issue in the manner white society once expected people to handle such things. Unfortunately white society, as it once was, is virtually extinct.
Here is how McGwire has handled the mess and how it has backfired. First of all, every accusation against him is based on hearsay with absolutely no evidence and it all happened many years ago. There is no going back. The games cannot be replayed. Clearly when McGwire saw that the steroids issue would become so enormous he just quit. Instead of prolonging the discussion he retired. Reporters today are so repugnant that they will continually ask the same questions over and over and over until the player is so sick of the whole situation that he explodes.
McGwire wanted none of that. He didn't want to tarnish the game he loved and he knew that he couldn't pull off what most controversial black players do and just go around sulking and barking at reporters and refusing to talk to them. That role is very difficult for a white player to pull off, especially a decent sort like McGwire. So he got out. He figured it would end the discussion as far as it related to him.
But he was wrong. The grandstanding congressional hearings that were engineered by Sen. John McCain to help his presidential aspirations specifically targeted white athletes so as to help get positive press coverage. Amazingly, the main figure in the whole deal, Barry Bonds, was not called to testify, which is like putting the Mafia on trial and calling in Joe DiMaggio to be grilled instead of John Gotti.
McGwire then made another modern day moral misjudgment and refused to lie. McGwire, probably influenced by some outdated religious or ethical considerations, could not bring himself to lie under oath to Congress and instead refused to answer the questions directly.
Silly Mark! Lying under oath is not a crime! The president of the United Stated did it several times ("I did not have sex with that woman"), as did Rafael Palmeiro in this particular case. No one tells the truth anymore if it hurts their case. That's how the system works now. Are any of those liars in remote danger of going to jail??? Not in this postmodern America.
In our present day court system you don't swear to tell the truth "so help me God," which is a personal pledge to God that if violated brings as its punishment eternal damnation. You now swear to tell the truth under "penalty of law." And since the law is so corrupt  why not lie? Especially if you are a non-white your chances of getting off increase dramatically.
McGwire's other error was that getting out of the sport early meant he would be the first to face the wrath of the media come Hall of Fame time. Add to that the fact that he is white and reporters can attack white players with no worry of racist accusations, which means that they can unload with both barrels.
It seems absurd by any measure that Mark McGwire would not be a guaranteed first ballot Hall of Famer but welcome to America 2007.
What makes it all the more ridiculous is that no one in sports has the moral integrity to make the tough decisions to rid illegal supplements from baseball. That means that someday the use of the supplements will be legal, probably regulated like everything else these days. And thus the steroid scandals will appear to be "old-fashioned" and the players from past eras that were punished for it will have paid a price that was not necessary.
Mark McGwire is one of the most deserving Hall of Fame players in the history of baseball. "Big Mac" is a proud representative of our people. His strength, his good nature, his smiling face and red hair are an enduring symbol of those things that we see as good in our selves and our race. To see him face so much adversity at a time when he should be receiving plaudits for the joy he provided to us for so many years is truly a modern tragedy.
This injustice, like so many that are aimed at our people, should further steel the resolve of all of those who oppose the anti-white Caste System in sports (and elsewhere) to continue to fight and agitate for change.
